During Monte Carlo, each team had an addition Press Car for their Press Day... See Makinen driving around in the Yaris WRC with Juha K.
In addition Citroen Racing did in fact bring 3 C3 WRCars to Monte... on of them used for guest drives with Meeke (see RedBull coverage)... I really should have gotten the License plate to see what Chasis number it was on the trusty eWRC website but I didn't...
So The teams do have additional cars lying around.. Hyundai had four in MC.
So I don't see why or how hard it could be to bring an additional C3 WRC to a home round in Corse for Breen... extra mechanics can come from Versailles... freight is easy... but for Mexico, they fly all the cars.GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

Yeah, fly in that third C3 for Craig and see how long he can go up that rally without mechanics or a service park slot.

What I mean is if they'll fly in a C3 WRC... they can fly in the additional mechanics... they can easily fit a third WRC in the tent as it'll be a long haul package.

Rims? Spare parts? Recce car? Tools for that one extra car? Ofc. they could, but the point is, they decided not to spend more money.

It’s true that Loeb getting Breen’s seat was announced a long time ago and for Breen skipping a couple of events will be always better than sharing the second car with Lefebvre all season long (like it was initially told). We also know that Citroen strict budget unable them to have 3 cars, but I wonder if it wasn’t possible to have Loeb’s special appearances covered by outside partners; the guy is a sponsor magnet, even if the Arabs opposed to a Red Bull deal it’s not hard to imagine French companies making a line to pay for this 3 outings (starting with Total or Michelin), which would certainly also allowed a better promotion of this operation.
Anyway, more than having Loeb’s back, the main thing is to see the C3 fixed and able to fight for the win in any rally, like Breen showed in Sweden.Rally addict since 1982
